Sunday's Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony marked a milestone for HBO's acclaimed "Game of Thrones." In addition to winning Outstanding Drama Series for the second year in a row, the hit fantasy also surpassed "Frasier" as the most-honored scripted series in Emmy history.

"Game of Thrones" went home with awards in 12 categories, bringing its total to 38. That's one more than the beloved NBC sitcom "Frasier."

Co-showrunners David Benihoff and D.B. Weiss won for best drama writing and Miguel Sapotchnik for directing for the fan-favorite episode "The Battle of the Bastards," which saw Jon Snow lead an assault on Castle Winterfell against Ramsay Bolton. It captivated audiences with an intense nearly hour-long battle scene.

Stars Peter Dinklage, Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey and Maisie Williams were all nominated in the acting categories, but none of them received a trophy.

Based on George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels, "Game of Thrones" concluded its sixth season in June. Two more seasons remain.
